Well, how long are willing to wait before you buy. Just ordered mine recently, so it should be here next week and i can tell you how it goes. But let me tell you i save sooo much money by coming to amazon. no tax and free shipping. you cant beat that. Plus amazon has a 30 day guarantee, if something happens then you get a new one.

I ordered this tv back in Septmeber. About a week later the shipping company called to schedule a delivery time. They were on time and professional AND brought it up 3 flights of stairs. No complaints!

I ordered mine on a Monday and the gound shipper delivered it on Friday (4 days). It worked out great especially since this is a pretty light TV. THis is the second TV i have ordered and once again no problems.

Yes I contacted Amazon to varify that the A to Z policy applies and we are covered if we never receive the TV, I did also contact the vendor with few questions only to get replies that didnt answer anything i asked at all? plus it seemed like he had issues spelling and putting sentences together kinda of lead me to believe it could be some sort of a overseas scam maybe?

Amazon was amazing throughout my return. As long as it's in the exchange period 30 days I think? Amazon paid for everything, return shipping, etc. The transaction was very pleasant, and I would definitely buy a big item like a TV from them again.

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

Book Lover - you abused online ordering. I bet anything that you attempted to cancel this item (tv?) when it was too late and it was thus never actually canceled - not by the fault of Amazon - and then you refused the product at your door step and I bet you are arguing for the $$$ that it probably cost to ship it there and back. (sounds like a large tv order for 2k) Not to again mention it was probably your fault it wasn't cancelled. Aka... you tried to get out of paying for shipping fees since you failed to cancel an order soon enough.

I am also a potential buyer of this TV. Seemed too good to be true... I received the email stating the item was in stock - even though it mysteriously disappeared from the website yesterday evening.. They said they would ship from Italy after dealing through Amazon. The email was sent from sales.shipsound@gmail.com - This I thought was odd. I went to Shipsound.com and found the contact us link at the bottom. ShipSound's main office is in Delaware and their email questions address is sales@shipsound.com.I truly believe that this is a scam and it should be escalated. I am also a potential buyer of this TV.

So far, so good. Yes, actually the TV arrived within minutes of my last post. Eagle employees were jerks this time, and the box was not in good shape. Plus, Amazon forgot to schedule them to pick up the defective set, so I need to wait for Eagle AGAIN tomorrow to pick up. So, it was a much more negative experience than last time. But the TV is fine so far. We are just crossing our fingers and waiting. Last time it took a week to show up. I think after a week (or two) we'll relax. I will update.

How long did the shipping take? I ask because I ordered the bundle yesterday. Everything said "shipping soon"... the blue ray player now says "shipped", but the TV has changed back to "not yet shipped". Delivery estimate is still 5-8 days due to having to use the free delivery,, estimate is Dec 21-24 and need the TV to be here before christmas. Has anyone been able to change the delivery options and pay for faster delivery?

I always thought that consumers had 30 days (sometimes 14 depending on the store) to return an item for any reason so why would you not just return the TV and get your money back? I cannot believe that Amazon would not work with you in this instance. This is a reply to William C. Reitz Jr. "Techie" post above. EDIT: I found this on the Amazon.com returns policy area: "Televisions 27 Inches and Larger Amazon.com cannot accept the return of televisions 27 inches and larger after delivery. Upon delivery, please inspect your television carefully for damage while the shipper is still present. If you discover any damage, please refuse delivery and you will receive a refund. Your signature on our carrier's delivery receipt acknowledges that you understand our return policy. After the release form has been signed, returns of televisions 27 inches and larger will not be accepted. If you accept delivery and later find out that the television is not working properly, please check the paperwork that came with it to see if the problem is covered by a manufacturer's in-home service warranty. All televisions 27 inches or larger come with one. If you are unable to locate warranty information for a particular model, contact the manufacturer." How in the heck can Amazon.com get away with this? This is totally ridiculous! I will NEVER buy a TV from Amazon!

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

I don't see the free white glove shipping & install service being offered. Also the Panasonic does not show free shipping at all whereas the Sammy still shows it. Has this changed? I am very close to being able to afford one of these great TVs. But I fear my financial challenges may have cost me if there has been a change in shipping & install policies. After a lot of research, this is the size and the Panasonic has a slight edge due to the anti-glare screen.

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.

I've had no issues with my tv ordered from Amazon. Maybe their was some mishandling during shipping?

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

I can't agree more, yesterday there was free shipping and a lower price. When I checked out today there was a $100 shipping charge on my email confirming the order that had not been reflected in the shopping cart. By the way the TV was $150 more than yesterday. Very frustrating shopping experience. Should have just gone to Sears paid the higher price and avoided the drama.

Buy at Sears and you can return the item for free if you don't like it. Otherwise, you're stuck like me with a $43 return shipping fee and another $59 that they deduct for the shipping coming to you. Either way you lose. Don't buy. Stupid idea for a product. I will never buy another TV 800 item again.
